Thank you for that. With this information, I now know that the Calista will work for me. A few posts back, you discussed the weight and durability of the Aquila Matte leathers, and I found that information to be very useful as well. This leads me to my next MM bag: a Calista in Jeans Blue Aquila Matte. Which lining do you think would work best: silver or dark gray?

P.S. I can't thank you enough for sharing your insight and photos of the new MM bags.

You are so very welcome! I like the silver lining-it's lighter and easier to find things. Either one would be great with the blue Aquila; I'm just partial to the silver. It's going to be beautiful!!

Here is the Juliette in River Blue vachetta. She is so elegant and refined! The leather will soften with time but still hold her shape. The Juliette is classy and timeless. I have also taken comparison pics with Rua Angelica in Deep Blue Africa.

Here is the Calista in Nude pebbled leather. I love how she hugs the body and is elegantly simple. Because she slouches, she feels and looks smaller than actual dimensions. I have taken comparison pics with Midi Minerva in dark taupe vachetta.

Hi Lenie,
Does the pebbled leather give structure like the Napa or Vachetta?
And would you say the nude leans towards pink? It looks like more pink on Marco's website, but a lovely cream in your picture.

Thanks !

The pebbled is not as structured as the vachetta or Napa, but more than merinos. It wears very well and has a great texture. The nude has a slight blush undertone to beige, definitely not as pink as it shows up on the website.

Yes, nude is not as pink as the website. I have a swatch pic from Colette somewhere that I can post.

The swatches I requested have arrived and gah! Too hard to choose. The dark violet merinos is so soft and scrumptious it just screams Calista but she's just not my style. I am thinking either a Midi Selene, Grande Aura or Rua Angelica.

I keep looking at the flat calf and wishing I could get a pair of Ferragamo Varas in that lovely cobalt blue.

Oh, guess you may have to put up with my three new Calistas in Aquia leather!! Allthough I adore silver hw I chose gunmetal for jeansblue/ silver for Tobacco w/ cappucino leather and light gunmetal for the Black ( both Jeans and black have dark grey linings)
